Hi, all. Attached is the spreadsheet showing 1/3 mill for 2010 based on 2009 Equalized Valuation. For municipal libraries, this is the minimum expenditure the municipality may give to the municipal library for 2010. The amount shown assumes that the library\x92s budget is based on a calendar year and that the municipality is not using the 15% rule (below). For joint libraries, add the two municipalities together and multiply the total by .000333333.

The letter you may need for the auditor will be posted to the NJSL PCSA webpage later this month.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
